Although it is seemingly quite a drawback to all farming opera tions, yet in a month or two it will only be remembered as a thing of the past. Well, we are gliding into the current of the general farming system. We expect to plant the larger portion of our farm in cotton; very little in corn. The plea is that it brings the money and our hope is to get 7c. or 8c. per pound next fall. How we farmers do succumb ! We have been somewhat interested and amused in reading a letter dated “Rio Janiero, January 15th,” and pub lished in last Sunday’s Macon Daily Telegraph. Living in that city at the time, we have some recollection of the then current history of the robbery spoken of in the letter. The robbery was an accomplished fact—no doubt about that—but the details in the let ter seem to be wanting in verity. From our standpoint, the pith of the matter centers in the old Sergeant. The editor said the receipt of the letter had al most set the old Sergeant wild. That’s a mistake—he was wild before. We happened to know him when he was a boy, and he always made pranks a specialty. His wonderful discovery, a few years ago, of his wonderful “Mag- no Diston Cotton” gave him a notori ety extending even beyond our own hemisphere. We also have some recol lection about that wonderful snake and pig story at McCall’s mill. The idea of getting up a joint stock company of ten shares at $100 each to buy the machinery necessary to raise the old sunken boat in the river, may seem very plausible to the uninitiated, and it does seem like a great pity that some body should have to stick a pin into this highly-inflated wind-pouch. The Rev. D. Nolan and his aged companion expect to celebrate their golden wedding the 29th inst., and have arranged for a family reunion on that occasion. We hope the event may be enjoyed by all. If we mistake not, we celebrated our golden wedding ove; thirty years ago. At all events, we were happy,—you bet. The infant babe of Mr. and Mrs. J. Y. Nolan is very sick. Mr. J. J. May, of Waco, Ga., is in town this week, shaking hands with old friends. We are always glad to see his genial face. Miss Emma Elliott, of Griffin, is vis iting friends here. She returns home to-day. We regret the taking off of Captain Littleton’s train this week. While it may not have been a source of revenue to the road, it was a great convenience to the traveling public. T. E. FELL & CO.

A negro came from Griffin on Captain Croft’s train so drunk that he had lost all conscious ness, speech, and power of action; he was as limber as a wet rag, and, strange to say, no one, black or white, knew him. That is a specimen of what the liquor sellers of Griffin and their allies are doing. Making drunkards, widows and orphans; cut-throats, thieves and robbers. They are making anything but decent, honest people. If this thing goes on, alas! for the coming gen eration of Griffin. Vincent. March 28th. y' Turin. Mr. Editor:—As notes from’this place were prepared previous to the storm of last week, nothing was mentioned about it. Although severe and exciting, I am happy to report that no serious damage was sustained. During the gust storm-pits were made a refuge by t hose who have them prepared. For th e moment, silent ejaculations and many side-prayers were in order. Solemn scrutiny played its part, while vows of amends found willing asserters. Even the man who made affidavit that his wife was sick in order to get his quart, had something to say. Upon the whole, our section has ample grounds for de vout offerings. The freeze last week about ended our calculations for peaches this year. The crop is killed, and few will be the peaches of this section, if any at all. The small grain crop is promising, so far. The rains are retarding farm work. The farmers are buying great quanti ties of guano, as though debts and bread depended upon it. The idea pre vails with some that from three to six tons must he used to the plow. Cheap ness and credit is just the thing that in volves so many. The hard weather of the present month is beginning to tell upon cattle. They now need some of the cotton seed that were shipped out of the county last fall, and which is now being ship ped back at compound rate. March and April are hard months for cattle, and especially milch cows. Turin’s young people had a caudy- pull ing last week. Mr. Ben. F. Cock, Jr., attended church in this place last Sabbath. Tobacco habits, like whiskey indul gences, increase morbid appetites. Some claim it to be the “parent of drunken ness.” The expense, aside from its more objectionable features, make it a thing to be loathed. That men indulge in the filthy habit in the house of God is strange, but that women should do so is more surprising. Your Senoia scribe should visit some of the country churches, if he desires to see how far the ladies are from such desecra tions as were mentioned by him last week. It is a sad commentary that some of the fairer sex indulge the habit of chewing tobacco and, like the opposite sex, must spurt—even if it be in the house of God. It is a down riirlit shame for any one to smear the sanc tuary of God with the filthy ooze. During the heavy rains this week the streams have been greatly swollen. Mr. Elbert Hicks smiles, because it is a hoy at his house this time. Mrs. Fannie Kate Stewart is happy over her first born. K. A. T. March 28th. Notes From Old McIntosh. Mr. Editor:—“To see the sun is pleasant” (vide Webster’s spelling book) is but a paraphrase of Solomon’s assertion, “And a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun”—which sentiment the public is prepared to ap preciate after the weather of the past four days. The mere enjoyment of the thing, however, is not to be consid ered in view of the serious damage and hindrance resulting from such contin ued and heavy rains. Perhaps your correspondent should ask pardon of soipe of your very fastid ious readers for allusion to so hackney ed a subject as the weather. But it must be remembered that in so quiet a community as ours the weather and its results is about the most important theme with which one has to deal. To be sure, we gc to church twice a month. Last Sunday, for instance, a “small but select” congregation enjoyed the min istration of the Word from the lips ol Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt. From his text, Judges 5:23, he enforced the duty ol all, especially Christians, to “come up to the help of the Lord against the mighty.” “The mighty” includes all evil, but the preacher specified in strongest terms the monster, intemper ance, and the sin of gambling especial ly, as exemplified in the wide-spread and delusive form of speculation, in all its forms, which he denounced as the present cause of much of the poverty and consequent distress in our land. Next Saturday the second quarterly meeting for this circuit will convene at Mt. Gilead. The services of the Sun day following will, of course, be of uni versal interest. Allow me, Mr. Editor, in speaking of church services, to thank your Senoia correspondent, “Vincent,” (whose let ters, by the way, are always interesting and often edifying,) for his well-timed words on the subject of tobacco chewing in church. This blot of civilization has for years moved the indignation of de cent people, and it is strange that those in authority do not exact and enforce laws against that and every other dese cration of the sanctuary. “Vincent” gallantly remarks, “Ladies are never guilty of such breaches of propriety.” We trust not, and yet, in the service of truht, we must confess that we “have somewhat against” our own sex, who in gratitude for what our religion has done and is doing for woman, should he a model of behavior in church. Of course, it is only among the young that there is cause for complaint; but it seems that even in the youngest who have reached years of accountability, there should be so much of the spirit of reverence for God’s house and confess ed presence as would suppress all incli nation to levity during the services of the sanctuary. This evil must be grow ing. In late issues of the LaGrauge Reporter and The Herald and Ad vertiser we have noticed strictures on the subject; therefore, it the more behooves all who care for such things to “come up against the mighty.” March 29th. Subscriber. Congress wants to put that $155,000,00b in circulation, just let them pay off the national debt with it and stop thr interest, which amounts to more than the tariff the people pay on foreign goods. There is a great deal of sicknea* throughout this section. Col. G. R Sanders is very low with influenza an« general debility; Mr. D. P. Power is quite sick with pneumonia; Mr. B. C- Sanders is down with pneumonia; Mr. Joe Dukes and wife have a very sick child; Mr. T. J. King and wife have two ick daughters; Rev. Mr. Mullens i- quite sick; Mrs. William Mullens is sick: Mrs. Irwin Sewell is in bed sick; Mr. L. M. Carter has a very sick child. We are sorry to learn that Miss Mary Redwine’s eyes failed her so that sin- was compelled to come home from South Alabama, where she has been teaching school. I think, on examination, thero will he a right smart peach crop yet. Om= thing is certain, the poor folks’ favoriti- fruit never fails—the blackberry and persimmon crops are as sure as the sun rises and sets. The Lord is good to poor folks in a heap of ways, and it is said that His eyes are always upon them. Cow-feed is mighty scarce throughout the country, and the poor cows -are feeling the effects of the oil mills. We had a soul-stirring, God-praising song singing at Macedonia on last Sun day afternoon. Ripples. March 28tli. “Vincent” Corrected. Mr. Editor:—Please allow me space in The Herald and Advertiser to call attention to a few inaccuracies in “Vincent’s” recent statement in regard to the mismanagement of the fanners of this section. In his figures in regard to the amount of flour purchased by them he says that they bought 189,000 pounds at $2.30 per hundred, and he makes this to bi worth $47,250, when it only comes to $4,725—quite a difference. He asks why we plant so much cotton ind so little grain. He must recollect that the farmers of this county lost 30,000 bushels of corn last year by the July freshets—one man alone losing 5,000 bushels—and, surely, they are not responsible for the rain. He also lec tures the farmers roundly for selling 19,000 bushels of cotton seed, but says. “All do not sell; there are a few noble exceptions.” Now let us see: We will take Jiis estimate of the cotton crop for last season, viz: 7,000 bales. At 80 bushels to the bale we have 210,000; take the 19,000 bushels sold from the 210,0(>0 produced and we have 191,900 bushels still in the hands of the fann ers. Now, the “few noble exceptions” must have made all the seed, or he has placed the good people of the Firs! district in a false light. He asks if the farmers of Coweta have as much as 1.000 acres sowed in small grain. The farmers of the Second district have double that amount. Now. “there is something the matter.” Hi says it is not the tariff ; that all out liai’d earnings go to the North ant) W est. It certainly does not go into Un hands of the Western farmers, if wr are to believe newspaper accounts; for we read that their lands are irredeem ably mortgaged. If they are in such t bad condition by raising grain and stock there must be some other cause. As to his little flings at the Alliance. I will not notice them. We have al heard of the little dog that harked the moon. “Vincent” may bark a*- much as he wishes, but the Alliance moves on all the same. I heard a prominent citizen and bank er remark the other day that he did sir know any class of men who man aged their business better, or weri shrewder than the majority of th- farmers. Now, “Vincent,” buy a pair of bro- gans, some hickory shirting and jean- pants, and come out in the country an- show us how to manage. We are wil; ing to learn by precept and exampl*. but don’t give us so much advice fre-' of charge. Come, “Vincent;” a wan- welcome awaits you. Farmer. March 28th. Panther Creek. Mr. Editor:—Last Monday morning was a very dark, rainy time. There is a stray heifer yearling at Llewellyn Smith’s, which the owner can get by paying charges, including The cost of this notice. After looking over the list of stock holders of the Newnan Cotton Factory I have come to the conclusion that, if the protective system of our govern ment is continued, that the factory will he a success and a paying invest ment. Not only is this true of the New nan enterprise, hut of all other similar industries in the South. We are doing well, and why not let well enough alone? Lots of folks spoil fortunes, just because they overdo the thing. If an individual owed money like this Gov ernment does, and then had plenty hoarded up and wouldn’t pay his debts, he would he called a grand rascal. If I had ready to plant The Carrollton Free Press gives th following account of the storm whit 1 ! passed through that county last week. “In Lowell district, we understand that the kitchen of F. M.
